Once again this year the Carol Singers of Caston were out in force doing their best to raise funds for the East Anglian Air Ambulance. It really was a bitterly cold night and they were all well deserving of the hot punch that awaited them at the end of their journey, kindly hosted by John & Wendy Chapman.

Unfortunately however there were a number of places in the village where they were unable to stop due to the roadworks. On those stretches where the traffic lights were in operation for example, stopping was impossible in-between the lights. So there were a number of houses where they were unable to knock and as a result the donations this year, at £180, while very good were down somewhat on last year.

If you wanted to give something to this very worthwhile cause and were unable to do so then Wendy Chapman at Chase Farm Bungalow will still be very pleased to take your contribution. An envelope through the door will be very gratefully received.
